Covers Contest: Grand Prize Winner

It makes sense that the winner of last week’s State of the Union contest would be a Washington insider. Or, at least, closer to the seat of power than most. Congratulations to Nancy Hirshbein of Silver Spring, Maryland (twenty minutes from D. C. according to Google maps). This inspiring victory ought to silence the raging small-government populists who say nothing gets done in our nation’s capital. But it probably won’t.

Meanwhile, it’s not too late to solve this week’s “Lost” contest. We’re still looking for a winner.
